THE GIRLS OF CENTRAL HIGH IN CAMP
WHERE, OH, WHERE?
Field day was past and gone and the senior class of Central High, Centerport's largest and most popular school, was thinking of little but white dresses, bouquets, and blue-ribboned diplomas.
The group of juniors, however, who had made the school's athletic record for the year in the Girls' Branch Athletic League, had other matters to discuss--and in their opinion they were matters of much greater moment.
"Boiled down," stated Bobby Hargrew, "to its last common divisor, it is 'Where, oh, where shall we spend our vacation?'"
They had decided some weeks before--Bobby herself, Laura Belding, Jess Morse, the Lockwood twins and Dr. Agnew's daughter, Nellie--that a portion at least of the long summer vacation should be spent in camp. The mooted question was, where?
"No seashore resort," Nellie said, with more decision than she usually displayed, for Nellie was of a timid and peaceful disposition.
"No," agreed Laura Belding. "We'll eschew the three S's--'sun, sand, and 'skeeter-bites.' That is the slogan of the seashore resort. Besides, it costs too much to get there."
"I thought you were a millionairess?" laughed Bobby. "Where are the royalties from your play?"
"Those won't begin till the producer puts the play on next season," returned Jess, who had been fortunate in writing a play for amateur production good enough to interest a professional theatrical manager.
"Well," pursued Laura Belding, "if we are going to spend the first weeks of the summer vacation in camp, we must decide upon the spot at once. Are we all agreed that we shall not go to the salt water?"
"Oh, yes!" cried her particular chum, Jess, or Josephine, Morse.
